Nation, area gas prices expected to be lower in 2013

The Dayton Beach New Journal -- The new year is less than two weeks old, but local prices have already climbed seven cents on average since Jan. 1. Nevertheless, the U.S. Energy Information Administration and AAA Auto Club both are predicting U.S. retail gasoline prices on average will be somewhat lower this year than in 2012.

The national annual average price for 2012 wound up a record $3.60 a gallon for regular unleaded, according to AAA's estimate, and $3.63, according to the EIA.

The EIA this week forecast the annual U.S. average price for 2013 will be $3.44 a gallon — four cents lower than what it predicted a year ago the annual average price would be for 2012.

AAA this week released a report forecasting that "gas prices in 2013 will average less than the annual record of $3.60 per gallon set last year,"

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:32,970 Points:2,344,535 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Jan 11, 2013 1:13:59 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Nation, area gas prices expected to be lower in 2013! Higher? Stay the Same? Lower? WHAT? One author says one thing, another one says the opposite. The price at the pump needs to go down to $2/gallon - $3, $3.50/gallon or *$4.00 is Not the new low! The US ‘oil and natural gas resources’ belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! These resources are Not to be exported without taking care of the domestic market first. Speculators, manipulators and the banks continue to unfairly and unjustly make the driving public pay higher prices at the pump for their personal greedy benefit. More Refineries are Not the answer, Stop exporting fuel is! 'Coming out of the closet' Sneeky's lousy, smoke and mirrors, lack of jobs, dog and pony show and in the crapper economy, the jobs are Not here. Sneeky's economy is not improving but continues to hurt the population and the job numbers continue to be down! Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, vehicle manufactures Produce and the population ‘Drives’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! XII/XXII/MMXII! - The Day After......
